don't despair...the magazines are made to SELL...the quicker the project, the better the chances are of the magazine selling!
Magazines are also geared toward the NEW/younger, sewer/quilter...NOT towards anyone who has been at it for more than 2 years...and after 10 years..well...we have seen it all, done it all and know that we won't make anything out of a magazine anyway..hehehe
so the magazines audience has to be the NEW person...no matter how many rail fences and ohio stars they have to publish...
